Service scope planner

Price the sourcing work by scope, proof, and operating risk.

Aeonix should not sell one vague sourcing package. Use this planner to define the work lane, included evidence, excluded third-party costs, and RFQ context before asking for a scoped quote.

Commercial guardrails

No fixed package promise for every category.

Third-party lab, freight, duties, taxes, and brokerage stay separate unless scoped.

The buyer sees what proof the fee produces before committing.

Buyer and stage

Start with who needs the work and where the project sits.

Project stage

Proof package

Work modules

Supplier count

Destination market

Recommended scope lane

Supplier-risk review scope

Quoted by supplier count, evidence depth, audit questions, and inspection planning.

Use this when the buyer needs approval evidence before deposit, PO, or repeat order. The fee should be tied to risk review and proof output, not vague assurance language.

Fee logic, not fake pricing

The planner avoids false certainty and makes RFQ easier to quote.

A responsible sourcing fee depends on work scope, supplier count, proof depth, category risk, sample/QC needs, and handoff complexity. The output below becomes the commercial scope note for RFQ.
